While I read a brief biography of St. Martin, the boys decorated glass jars with tissue paper. We waited until dark and then lit a tea light candle inside each jar. The boys had a little mini parade in the dark while listening to the St. Martin song. I didn't know what they'd think of the song, but they loved it and probably would have paraded around for half an hour if we had let them!
We weren't able to capture how reverently and carefully the boys walked around with their lanterns. Our camera has some sort of a problem and we only get one picture per battery set, so our strategy is to take the picture as fast as possible!! Here's our two pictures:
